From the Farmers Advcrther,
Fowls Laying in Winter,
MR. EDITOR.
Dear Sir —J see by
your paper that you wish to hear
from the Poultry men in regard to
" how to make hens lav in the win
ter.
I thinV there "re three things nec
essary to attain that object, viz: Ist.
A proper house ; 2ml The pnper
foo'l ; Bd. The proper breed.
The house should b'' large enough
to give plenty of ro >m for the fowl;
it should 112 ice the South, wilh a goo I
fence about six feet high on the north
and West s.des of the yard, as it
form- a good protection from the
cold winds. The front should be
entirely of glass,; win 'ow sath. s
with six by eight lights are the best,
so if they get broken it will not cost
so much to mend i . There slioul 1
be a good floor to it, which must be
kept clean. The nests can be placed
on the back side about a foot from
the floor so that 'lie sun can shine on
them, as it makes it warm and pleas
ant to the liens. My hen houses,
which are mad" on this plan, are al
most as warm as my kitchen. One
thing is very certain,and that is that
hens cannot be made lay in the win.
ter, no matter how well, fed, unless
they have a good, dry, warm, light
apartment, especially in stormy
weather.
Now in regard to their food. I
think that the more variety you give
them the bettor. I havo a regular
bill of fure for each day. First day
corn *vith meat and cabbage; next,
oats with meat; next, meal and boil,
ed ma hed potatoes; next wheat,
with cabbage or other vegetables;
rK'xt, l)!irley with meat; next, scald
ed meal with cayenne pepper. I
think,that grain is better boiled than
in the raw state, and if a beef bone
putin the water it improves the
flavor much. In feeding meal and
mashed potatoes I putin a little ca
yenne pepper. Feed warm but not
tno hot Th" lung's, liver, anil tripe
of an ox is what I use for fresh meat
it should lie boiled tender so the beni
can pick it off easily. I always keep
n cake of pork scraps and a good
supply of pounded bones, oyster and
clain shells, bits of p'aster, lime,
grave! stones, and sand in my hen
house. 1 also save all the shells of
tho eggs used by the fami'v during
the summer months, dry them wll
and pound up fine and feed in the
coldest of the w< athor. lies w« t
a ■ ood place lo dust in the winter,
for this urpose have a shallow box
in a warm p'ace filled with wood
ashes, ar.d Inst, but not least, let
them have an abundance of pure,
dean, unfrozen wafer by them all
the time.
There has boon a prosit deil of
discussion to what \* tin- 1 est breed
of fowl for laying. 1 think that ev
ery oho will agree with me that the
best lor winter laying arc tin* lirah
mm. although there are manv breeds
winch are ahead of them in th" sum
in r time. I think that the best va»
ri ty a farmer can k' ep is a mixture
of the SjHtninh <T Leghorn with the
Vr i/nna. always keepng fu;| blood,
c 1 cocks of both breeds, and chang
ing every year.
In usion; I would say that I
n'ways have a good supply of eggs
during Uie winter, and the tnoro at
tention yon give your fowls the bet
ter yon will he paid.
Yours, &c. E. A. J.
Mice and Babbits in Winter.
Mice ' o much injury in winter to
young trees and plants, as well as
the growing lettuce and cauliflowers
in ho'-beds. We have "gU rid of
them in the hot-bed by the use if ar
senic mixed with Indian tneal placed
on old dishes or pieces of shingle.—
They seem to prefer the meal to the
vegetables. As to young trees the
Ov St inode is to roitnve any mulching
that may remain about them and ban
dage them with pieces of old cloths
of any kind, allowing them to run
an ii ch below the surface and six to
eight inches above. If there t.fiou!d
lie an early fall of snow, trample it \
har.lsi ound t'i tr e ry
sliovd some additional s-n *w iu order
that a compact body may be secur
ed.
Rabbits, in case of deep snov s re
maining on the g*ound for a long
time are much more destructive - o
young irccs ih n mice. They will
cVar a tree of its liark for two feit
killing it outright. The best reme
dy kriK.w fur this is to c:»nh
as many us possible by setting nu
merous traps, anil if this is not suf
ficient to get rid of them, feed them
regularly with vegetables. Tliej ire
particularly fon 1 of
■ ami apples, but will eit vegetables of
almost any before attacking the
tree.
We have this method to be
tried with success, but they
uui-t be properly trj.-d, and nut left
utitil half an orchard or garden is de
stroyed.— Gennant'iwn Telegraph.

(TO BE CONTINUED.)
CHURCH INCIDENT.—A minister of a
wost'rn village found, one Fa'ibath, a
notice which had been cut from a Satur.
day's newspaper, and placed in his desk
for him to read to his congregation. Hut,
by a strange coincidence there happened
to be printed on the other side of the slip
I the advertisement of a certain shoe
! dealer,a prominent member of his church
and without turning the paper to read
the other side, as the advertisement met
his eye, the g«>od man concluded it was
expected he would rwd it,ami according
ly, to the surprise of all, he announced,
at the usual point for reading notice—
" George 8. Brown keeps constantly on
band, and for sale, a large and wed se
lected assortment of boots and shoes,
which he will sell low for cash, at No. 10
Pine street."
And he tdded—
j " Brother Brown is a worthy member
I of the church and society and deserving
the patronage of the congregation."
The consternation of Brother Brown
may better be imagined than desciibcd.
—" Behold, mi l'"lora, how. glorious
Nature looks in her bloom ! The trees
are filled with blossoms, the wood is
i dressed in its green livery, and the plain
is carpeted with grass and flowers."
I *• Yes. Charles, I was thinking of.the
suuie thing. These flowers are dande
lions, and when ihey are gathered and
pur into a pot with*a piece of good fat
|Hirk they make the beat griwo* ia the
world."
—Paddy," haul * j'ker, "why don't
joa get your ears c; opped—they are en«
tirely too loug for a man T" "Aud
y ins " repbed ,I'at, '-ought to he length
cue..—ihey are too short lor an ass." ~
